Beauty they said ,is in the eye of the beholder.Yes,but there are some creatures these days a natural person would see and would be forced to turn.They exist among the sexes.In terms of height,shape,colour,voice,even intelligence,all appear to be excellent.The could be blacks,whites,asian and what have you.
Before now,in Africa they were seen and called children of maimade.Any one that has them in the house becomes sleepless of what their fate could be at the end.Eyes were on their behaviours inorder to observe some strangeness.And some indeed were very strange.
Some parents would go to the extent of consulting soothsayers to foretell the future of the Ogbanjes.Many shortlived as a result of links with water goddessess except those whose cases were sought out on time.People of this kind could be hand picked in a community(ies).
Today,things have changed,they are all over the places,from Africa to Europe.You can hardly pass ten people without finding at least five among the paragon and three above the paragon.
They know it,at least passes and comments of people on their straight leggs,curves in right places,eyes,tones,hairdos etc make them haughty.They flaunt nakedness at a slightess opportunity inviting everyone to witness their endowments.Yes,it is their weapon of demolition or dragnet.It is their strenght and joyas they share heart to heart with one another.And a seemingly breakthroughs are being made by them
at all levels as we see both the mighty fall like pack of cards and worship them because of this very beauty.All restricted gates flung open at their presence,masters become servants,men of authority are ruled,stouthearted are made lilylivered by these damsels.Benefits accruing from this God given gift are endless agreeing with the scripture that says mans gift makes room for him,yet,it is the greatest bane of our problems.
We have seen many of them unstable as water,cannot be trusted in relationships,divorce and infidelity trail their marriages.The same beauty that endared to men nailed them before men , leaving them with catalogues of secret
pains and brokeness, friends today enemies tomorrow.Are they not found many among single parents due to lack of submission to husbands which beauty has earned them,harlotry,drug addicts,victims of rapes and sexual abuse,unmarried though elegant,unfruitfulness.The beauty in their heads flatteringly call them Never grow old,and in their choosy attitudes miss God ordained spouses. In bid to sooth the troubled hearts clads themselves with undesirable apparels of believes to fool the unwary.
Above all they are godless.Being god themselves seek no other God.Their beauty pride and gains never allow them time seek the Living God.They hardly honour any invitation that will querry their lifestyle or point them to the ways of God.Such are entangled in pomps and peagantries of these world,being guest of every happening events in the city.Who is like them,who else is favoured as they by God if he actually exist?,they ask.And if God hates them why all these blessings? they wonder and question,but never stand in the way to ask for the right path that leads to life eternal,that they might find peace and rest for their souls.jer6:16.
May be you are one of them.Make haste and give your life to christ before it becomes late to do so.
